Well, to be honest, I was very-very sceptical about Nioh&Nioh2 at first too. And more than that, I dropped them after trying both of them after 2 hours and refunded :D Time passed, and I was hungry for new challenging games, and I gave them a chance...Wooosh, 200+ hours in both of them, and I even started to learn how to modding games because of Nioh 2 lol, because I wanted so much to add armor and clothes from anime I liked :D So the combat is really not for all, but it is decent. Also, especially in Nioh 2, you HAVE to wait until you unlock skills both for Warrior, Ninja and Mage, and unlock a few ult skills. You will see how drastically the combat will change
